This class is for students who love video games or animated movies and want to take the next step and start making their own creations. You can be a total beginner with no experience or have dabbled in 3D modeling software and want more practice. 3D models can be used in video games, animated movies, or 3D printing. Students will learn how to navigate a 3D space, create basic 3D shapes and how to move, rotate and scale them and assign colors to their snowman. During this class, students will use Blender to learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling. Students will then put those concepts to use by modeling a snowman alongside the teacher. Students are encouraged to ask and answer questions and help each other with problem-solving as they work on their snowmen. Students are encouraged to share their creations at the end of class. Classes sizes are kept small so that individual instruction can be given to each student as needed
Learning Goals
Students will learn to navigate a 3D environment create all basic 3D shapes and combine those shapes to make more complex objects to make our snowman.

Hi, my name is Christopher Walls.
I believe learning should be fun, interactive, and engaging. Classes should be hands-on.
I am a professional 3D modeler and teach ESL online. I have been working as a 3D modeler for over 13 years. I work for a company that makes air traffic control simulators. I get to make video games that train and educate people I love it so much. I have always had a passion for video games and making cool things I am excited to share my knowledge with others who want to make cool things.
I have been working with kids in some capacity for most of my life. I have worked as a summer camp counselor for over 10 years. In college I volunteered at a local high school where I taught students how to use photoshop, make websites and 3D models. I have 3 years of experience teaching online as an English teacher to foreign students.
I graduated from the University of Central Florida (2005) with a BA in Digital Media and a Masters Degree (2007) in Modeling and Simulation.Reviews
